   I built a mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64 toolchain and noticed that
   it didn't run this test

There's nothing wrong with your patch, but what does
mips64-unknown-linux-gnuabi64 mean?  Is that just someone's local
invention or is it really a canonical GNU system quadruplet?  Is this
what config.guess returns on a specific system?

It seems to me that there is something seriously wrong with canonical
names for 64-bit Linux systems.  The current situation seems to be
that you can't really tell whether a Linux system is really 64-bit or
just has a 64-bit kernel and is otherwise completely 32-bit.  My SuSE
9.2 Athlon 64 desktop system seems to be fully 64-bit, but we also
have a Debian-based Opteron cluster that's complete 32-bit.  Yet on
both systems config.guess returns x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.
